'''''Zendikar Rising''''' is the 85th ''[[Magic: the Gathering|Magic]]'' expansion. It was released on September 25, 2020.<ref>{{YouTubeRef|WZxTihBkkpQ|Magic Announcement Stream|date=September 4, 2019|channel=Magic: the Gathering}}</ref><ref>{{EzTumblr|https://markrosewater.tumblr.com/post/621933954849783809/hi-mark-having-trouble-keeping-track-of-which|title=Having trouble keeping track of which new and awesome products are launching when.|June 25, 2020}}</ref><ref name="Dates">{{WebRef|url=https://wpn.wizards.com/en/article/zendikar-rising-all-dates-info-you-need|title=Zendikar Rising: All the Dates & Info You Need|author=[[WPN]]|date=July 13, 2020|publisher=[[Wizards Play Network]]}}</ref><ref>{{DailyRef|news/zendikar-debut-and-announcement-day-recap-2020-09-01|Zendikar Debut and Announcement Day Recap|[[Blake Rasmussen]]|September 1, 2020}}</ref> 

==Set details==
{{cquote|Adventure Awaits}}
As [[Mark Rosewater]] announced "we return to a [[Zendikar (plane)|Zendikar]] without [[Eldrazi]] and revisit the adventure world players fell in love with."<ref>{{EzTumblr|https://markrosewater.tumblr.com/post/187500231728/i-missed-the-announcement-of-the-sets-for-next|title=I missed the announcement of the sets for next year.|September 04, 2019}}</ref> It is a "land set" in the sense of the sets of the first [[Zendikar block]], and all about adventure, exploration and reward. 

''Zendikar Rising'' contains 280 regular cards {{curmb|101|80|64|20|15}} and includes randomly inserted [[premium]] versions of all cards. Cards with alternate card frames have another card number than the original version. Like all previous Zendikar sets, ''Zendikar Rising'' features [[full-art]] [[basic land]]s (#266-280).<ref name="Panel"/> [[Borderless]] planeswalkers are numbered #281-283, borderless [[pathway]]s are #284-289, [[showcase card]]s are numbered #290-313, [[extended artwork]] cards are numbered #314-379, and regular frame lands are numbered #380-384. The (non-exclusive)<ref>{{EzTumblr|https://markrosewater.tumblr.com/post/629468838574096384/where-did-the-decision-to-not-an-exclusive-buy-a|title=Where did the decision to not do an exclusive Buy-a-Box promo for ''Zendikar Rising'' come from?|September 16, 2020}}</ref> [[Buy-a-Box]] is #385, and the [[Bundle promo]] is numbered #386. Finally there are the FNM-treatment cards from the [[Universal promo pack]] numbered #387-391. Both regular and foil versions of the cards above #280 may be found in the Collector Boosters.

[[File:ZNR_Hedron_showcase - Lotus_Cobra.png|thumb|right|200px|Hedron showcase treatment.]]
The [[Showcase card]]s are connected to [[Landfall]] mechanic. The card frame is themed around Zendikar’s [[hedron]]s, and the art style is intended to imitate bright-colored [[Wikipedia:Poster#Travel_posters|Travel Posters]]. The set features no new [[planeswalker]]s. The returning planeswalkers are [[Jace]], [[Nissa]], and [[Nahiri]].<ref name="Panel"/>  Starting with ''Zendikar Rising'', the mythic rares are changing their rate of drop. In the past, 1 in every 8 rares was a mythic rare. That is changed so that 1 in every 7.4 rares will be a mythic rare.<ref name="Set Booster"/> Equivalently, this is an increased chance, from 37 in 296 packs previously, to 40 in 296 packs now. Draft boosters have a dedicated [[MDFC]] slot.

===Storyline===
[[Zendikar (plane)|Zendikar]] is a dangerous world of lethal risks where brave adventurers delve into ancient ruins in search of priceless rewards.<ref>{{DailyRef|feature/zendikar-things-have-changed-2020-09-01|Zendikar: Thing Have Changed|Ari Zirulnik and [[James Wyatt]]|September 1, 2020}}</ref> The storyline features no [[Eldrazi]] but we see the ruin they have caused. From the perspective of its inhabitants, it is a hostile place that seems to be actively trying to kill the creatures that have the audacity to live there. The danger is unrelenting: precarious terrain, cunning predators, natural disasters on a massive scale, and the still continuing [[Roil]] — the unpredictable ripples of change that wash through the land — all present a constant challenge to survival. [[Nahiri]] has returned to Zendikar, and is willing to do anything to get rid of the Roil. [[Nissa]] has also returned home, but for reasons of her own.

The cards that represent the [[Story Spotlight]]s in ''Zendikar Rising'' are:
* <c>Lithoform Engine</c>
* <c>Lithoform Blight</c>
* <c>Maddening Cacophony</c>
* <c>Nahiri's Binding</c>
* <c>Nahiri's Lithoforming</c>
* <c>Nissa's Zendikon</c>

===Marketing===
[[File:ZNR Set Booster.png|thumb|right|Set Booster]]
[[File:ZDR adventure gear.jpg|right|thumb|Adventure gear given out to content creators]]
''Zendikar Rising'' is sold in regular 16-card [[Draft Booster]]s (one card being a [[marketing card]]), [[Theme Booster]]s,  [[Collector Booster]]s, [[Set Booster]]s, the ''Zendikar Rising'' [[bundle]], and two [[Commander (format)|Commander]] decks.<ref>{{DailyRef|feature/zendikar-rising-product-overview-2020-09-02|''Zendikar Rising'' Product Overview|Ari Zirulnik|September 2, 2020}}</ref> A special [[Gift Edition]] of the Bundle will release in November 2020. The set is accompanied by a new [[Welcome Booster]]. The Draft Boosters feature artwork from [[Jace]], [[Nahiri]] and [[Nissa]]. The Theme Boosters feature art from {{card|Adventure Awaits||ZNR}} ([[Party]]), {{card|Archpriest of Iona||ZNR}} {{nowrap|({{W}})}}, {{card|Field Research||ZNR}} {{nowrap|({{U}})}}, {{card|Blackbloom Rogue||ZNR}} {{nowrap|({{B}})}}, {{card|Teeterpeak Ambusher||ZNR}} {{nowrap|({{R}})}}, and {{card|Murasa Brute||ZNR}} {{nowrap|({{G}})}}. The Collector Boosters feature art of <c>Omnath, Locus of Creation</c>. The Set Boosters feature art from {{card|Needleverge Pathway||ZNR}}.

As part of the advertisement campaign for the set, content creators were provided with adventure gear (a water bottle, a bandanna, and a face mask). 

The release of ''[[Secret Lair Drop Series: Showcase: Zendikar Revisited]]'' was timed to coincide with the release of ''Zendikar Rising''.
====Set boosters and the List====
''Zendikar Rising'' introduced [[Set Booster]]s.<ref name="Set Booster">{{DailyRef|making-magic/set-boosters-2020-07-25|Set Boosters|Mark Rosewater|July 25, 2020}}</ref> These are targeted to players that are not interested in [[Draft]] or [[Limited]], and sell for a slightly higher price than [[Draft Booster]]s. Each pack comes with fourteen objects, twelve of which are ''Magic'' cards.  

One of the objects in the Set Booster is an [[Art card]].<ref name="Panel">{{YouTubeRef|NqoFes1rJ0c|Magic: The Gathering Panel with Mark Rosewater {{!}} Comic-Con@Home 2020}}</ref> Art cards were last seen with ''[[Modern Horizons]]''.

In 25% of the Set Boosters, cards of "[[The List]]" can be found instead of a [[marketing card]].<ref name="Set Booster"/> The List is a changing catalogue of 300 cards from older sets. These are not Standard legal. In addition, in 5% of the Set Boosters, the marketing card is replaced by a [[minigame]] card.

====Expeditions====
{{Main|Zendikar Rising/Expeditions}}
Similar to the original ''[[Zendikar]]'' [[Priceless Treasures]] and [[Zendikar Expeditions]] of the [[Battle for Zendikar block|second block]], ''Zendikar Rising'' has its own version of bonus cards from outside the set. There are 30 Expeditions in total, all of which are lands. These include all 10 [[fetch land]]s. Unlike those earlier cards, these do not randomly appear in booster packs. Instead, they are only available as [[Box topper]]s (non-foil with a high-gloss treatment) and in [[Collector Booster]]s (foil).

==Themes and mechanics==
[[File:Helper card.png|right|thumb|[[Substitute card|Helper card]]]]
A new mechanic in ''Zendikar Rising'' takes a popular theme that players like and twists it in a new way: '''[[party]]''', a [[batching]] [[mechanic]] which  resembles the [[ally]] tribal strategy of previous Zendikar visits.<ref name="Panel"/> (Allies themselves do not appear in the set.) A party looks for one of each of [[Cleric]]s, [[Rogue]]s, [[Warrior]]s and [[Wizard]]s among creatures you control, then scales an effect on the size of the party.<ref>{{DailyRef|making-magic/zendikar-rising-challenge-2020-09-01|''Zendikar Rising'' to the Challenge|[[Mark Rosewater]]|September 1, 2020}}</ref><ref>{{DailyRef|feature/zendikar-rising-mechanics-2020-09-01|Zendikar Rising Mechanics|[[Matt Tabak]]|September 1, 2020}}</ref> 

The second new mechanic is '''[[modal double-faced card]]s''' (MDFCs). Like previous double-faced cards, modal double-faced cards have two faces, one on each side. However, when you play a modal double-faced card, you choose the face you're playing: they don't [[transform]]. Each [[draft booster]] contains a modal double-faced card. The set also introduces [[helper card]]s: similar to the [[checklist card]]s of past sets, they can be used to replace an unsleeved card. In lieu of the abandoned [[block]] model, [[R&D]] has found a new way to tie together the three non-core premier sets in a single ''Magic'' "year" (aka the fall, winter, and spring sets—using northern hemisphere seasons): they share a common mechanic. For ''Zendikar Rising'', ''[[Kaldheim]]'' and ''[[Strixhaven: School of Mages]]'' that is MDFCs.<ref name="Challenge 2">{{DailyRef|making-magic/zendikar-rising-challenge-part-2-2020-09-07|''Zendikar Rising'' to the Challenge, Part 2|[[Mark Rosewater]]|September 7, 2020}}</ref> The MDFC's of ''Zendikar Rising'' all feature [[land]]s on their back side.

There are two returning mechanics, both of which have appeared in a Zendikar set before.<ref name="Challenge 2"/> The first of these is '''[[kicker]]''', a [[keyword ability]] that allows you to pay an extra cost for a bonus effect. Kicker was first featured in the [[Invasion block]], later appeared in the original ''[[Zendikar]]'' set, and was last seen in the ''[[Dominaria]]'' expansion. This set also marks the first time a card with kicker having a [[multicolored]] cost ({{Card|Moss-Pit Skeleton}}) is printed since {{Card|Kangee, Aerie Keeper}} from ''[[Invasion]]''. The second returning mechanic is [[landfall|'''landfall''']], an [[ability word]] for abilities that [[trigger]] on lands entering the battlefield under your control. All cards with landfall in the set receive an alternate [[showcase]] treatment.

The set also sees the return of '''"[[two-brid mana]]"''', first featured in ''[[Shadowmoor]]'', on <c>Tazri, Beacon of Unity</c>. Similar to regular [[hybrid mana]], two-brid mana symbols can be paid with two mana of any color or one mana of a specific color.

All '''[[Equipment]]''' in the set [[attach]] itself to target creature you control when it [[enters the battlefield]] ("snap-on equipment").

===Card types===
''Zendikar Rising'' has a [[creature class]] [[Tribal (theme)|tribal theme]], centered on '''[[Cleric]]s''', '''[[Rogue]]s''', '''[[Warrior]]s''', and '''[[Wizard]]s'''. Each class has an associated mechanic for [[Limited]].<ref>{{DailyRef|feature/zendikar-rising-release-notes-2020-09-10|''Zendikar Rising'' Release Notes|[[Eli Shiffrin]]|September 10, 2020}}</ref> Each color in the set showcases the four classes in varying proportions: with any two-color combination, you can have a full [[party]] with cards from only ''Zendikar Rising''.<ref>{{EzTumblr|https://markrosewater.tumblr.com/post/628199775039275008/i-hope-blue-red-isnt-swamped-with-more-wizards|title=Please say a lot of the color pairs are getting a Type they're missing?|September 2, 2020}}</ref> That said, only three creatures are available in the tertiary colors in total, two in green and one in the other, not counting the "any role" vertical cycle.

It's noted that Green is present in all four classes as their tertiary colors, but in none as their primary or secondary colors. There are ten Green creatures that fill party roles; six commons, three uncommons and a rare.

==Notable cards==
*<c>Charix, the Raging Isle</c> has the highest printed toughness of any [[Black border|black-bordered]] creature at 17.
*Years seemingly have passed for the <c>Teeterpeak Ambusher</c>, improving his skills and equipment, but using the same method since he was a <c>Reckless Bushwhacker</c> in ''[[Oath of the Gatewatch]]'' and a just a young <c>Goblin Bushwhacker</c> in the ''[[Zendikar]]'' set.
*Zendikar Rising is the first draft set since [[Scars of Mirrodin]] where no Auras were designed to be placed on one's own creatures due to the prevalence of "snap-on" Equipment.
*<c>Skyclave Apparition</c> became the most played white creature in [[Modern]] and one of the most played creatures in the format in general thanks to its ability to permanently remove recurring threats like <c>Uro, Titan of Nature's Wrath</c> and <c>Kroxa, Titan of Death's Hunger</c>.
*<c>Skyclave Relic</c> is the first non-creature artifact with [[Indestructible|indestructible]] since <c>Darksteel Relic</c> from ''[[New Phyrexia]]'', around nine years after the latter was printed.
*{{Card|Moss-Pit Skeleton}} is the second ever gold kicker spell, after {{Card|Kangee, Aerie Keeper}} 20 years prior in ''[[Invasion]]''.  
*The [https://scryfall.com/search?q=e%3Aznr+is%3Amdfc+-pathway modal double-faced cards] enabled in [[Pioneer]] and improved in [[Modern]] and [[Legacy]] strategies based around having no cards counting as lands in your library and winning through different means. Eventually this led to the February 2021 banning of <c>Balustrade Spy</c> and <c>Undercity Informer</c> in Pioneer, two cards that allowed you to [[mill]] your entire library and win with a critical amount of creatures that put themselves from your graveyard onto the battlefield for free.

===Banned and restricted cards===
* <c>Omnath, Locus of Creation</c> was the fourth in the series of the ever-expanding Omnath legendary creatures, adding White mana to the Temur combination. Despite the four-color mana cost it became trivially easy to cast, and the base rate of a 4/4 that draws a card and gains 4 life every turn turned aggro from a traditionally bad matchup to a laughably easy one. Decks quickly built to exploit Omnath to its full potential, with <c>Lotus Cobra</c> managing the color requirements and <c>Escape to the Wilds</c> or <c>Genesis Ultimatum</c> being ways to continuously hit four or five land drops a turn, playing almost as a Storm deck. The deck was weakened with the <c>Uro, Titan of Nature's Wrath</c> banning, but that merely took away one avenue of long-game inevitability, and controlling a deck with so much mana was nearly impossible. A second build hybridized Omnath with the Adventures deck, making a ramp strategy with enough interaction that only the pure Omnath ramp decks would overpower. After a 70% metagame domination at the 2020 Grand Finals, Omnath was banned in Standard alongside <c>Lucky Clover</c> (part of the Omnath Adventures shell) and <c>Escape to the Wilds</c>. The card was simultaneously suspended in Historic, and later banned in February 2021, but with the creation of [[Alchemy]] it was rebalanced into <c>A-Omnath, Locus of Creation</c> and unbanned.
